<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2380043, member: 19463&quot;]I believe these are what you meant from the Failmezger book.&nbsp; 127iM3&nbsp; appeared on the disk distributed with the book in enlarged size. I shows &#039;tetrarchy gods in pediment with Victories&#039;.&nbsp; Click to enlarge.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]487753[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>127jM3 was a lesser coin only shown in reduced size and was labelled &#039;Dioscuri in pediment with Victories&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]487755[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Neither were great coins but it was what we had to work with.&nbsp; Victories were, in particular, weak.&nbsp; We included very few coins from out of town simply because mailing things would have upped the cost of the book a lot. </p><p><br /></p><p>I remain fond of 126gM3 (below) which was a coin from my collection (coded D on the disk - owners of the disk will see several similarly coded to owners) used because it was better than Victor&#039;s of the type. Type 126 temples had four columns while 127 had six.&nbsp; 126gM3 was &#039;wolf/twins pediment, Victories&#039;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]487757[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I might add that 700 photos taken for this book were done while on my back with one leg elevated over my heart level following vascular surgery.&nbsp; The photos may not be the best but I claim the award for best excuse for numismatic mediocrity.&nbsp; Since I was not paid for them, the images were good enough.&nbsp; They were taken with a (primitive by today&#039;s standards) Nikon Coolpix 990 linked to a TV so I did not have to look through the camera.&nbsp; I did the photos as a favor to Victor partly because he agreed to issue the images on CD with the book and the first bunch had a CD in a sleeve inside the back cover.&nbsp; Later, batches were sent out minus the disks or dealers who bought them decided to throw them out.&nbsp; The idea of providing the images on disk did not seem worth doing to most people in 2003.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
